Taking inspiration from the way the integrated Hazelcast automatically searches for an open port when clustering, I decided to add in a similar feature for Payara Micro when trying to bind its HTTP and HTTPS ports.

This is a preview of a personal project I've been working on which I'm sharing (through Payara) with the community, hence it's not exactly polished and there's still plenty more I'd like to do with it - although I could probably say that about most of the things I work on in my spare time.
